Hebrews 13:8 (the message)

"For Jesus doesn't change—yesterday, today, tomorrow, he's always totally himself."


There are times in life when the emotions are flying high in your love for Jesus and nothing can get in the way of your relationship with Him. You're excited, you feel His presence and the sense of hope you have for the future is tangible... fireworks and cupcakes all the time!

And then the fireworks are over, and everyone ate all the cupcakes. You find yourself in dark and boring situations. You know He is there, you certainly don't love Him any less deep down, but things are different and you know it. Life circumstances may have changed, things aren't working like they used to and maybe you can't put your finger on it.

This is when your walk-by-faith-not-by-sight kinda faith must kick in. This is when you get in your bedroom or some peaceful place where you can be alone, or outside under the stars at the calm of midnight and pray. Then you believe that He doesn't change, has never changed and will never change in the way He loves you. He has loved you since the beginning of time and He still loves you. His love for you has not grown dim (probably even gotten more beautiful and intense), He has not changed His mind about the hope and plans He has for your life, and He is still Lord of Lords and King of Kings...every knee will bow one day and every tongue will confess His precious and holy name.

His perfect love and character and nature doesn't change and will never die... the world changes, life changes, things break, doors open, dreams come true, people change their minds. His character cannot stop loving you. Remain true to Him the whole way Home.
